Apr 17 The Callous Daoboys Release Their Latest Magnum Opus

A lot can happen in a minute and twenty-six seconds. Especially if you're The CallousDaoboys.

As they prepare to enter the studio to begin work on their highly anticipated first fulllength studio album, the local mathcore sextet – comprising lead vocalist Carson Pace,violinist Amber Christman, guitarists Maddie Caffrey and Adam Collins, bassist JackBuckalew, and drummer Sam Williamson – has once again demonstrated that they areprepared (perhaps more so than any other act in the Atlanta scene today) to defyconvention and surpass the expectations of even their most avid fans, with the releaseof "The Great Multi-Stage Rocket Robbery".

The blistering single is every bit as complex as it is concise; a composition that perfectlycaptures the group's fearlessly ambitious and creative spirit. Brash, abrasive, andundeniably innovative as always, the Daoboys manage to cover an unbelievable amountof ground in a very short amount of time on "Rocket Robbery" - winding theirway through a myriad of jarring stylistic shifts and time signature changes with lethalprecision and a strange, uncanny gracefulness.

At once both primal and sophisticated; sporadic and calculated; chaotic and brilliantlywell-ordered, "The Great Multi-Stage Rocket Robbery" is a mini-masterpiece thatexpands upon the technical and experimental sound of the Daoboys' acclaimed 2017 EPAnimal Tetris, and hints at great things to come.
